With the public huddling indoors to avoid any contact with the COVID19 Coronavirus, it is no surprise voter turnout was low on Tuesday, March 17 for the Primary Election.
As of noon on Tuesday, it was reported that overall turnout was just 14% in DuPage County, which included mail-in and early voting, according to the County Board of Elections office. As of late evening on the 17th, the County reported 148,403 ballots had been cast out of 615,487 registered voters, making it a 24.11% turnout.
